Performing Other Operations
The Exchange_PublicFolder class's methods—AddReplica, RemoveReplica, SendChanges, Copy, Move, Rename, PropagateSettings, and Synchronize—let you perform other public folder operations. Each method requires specific input parameters.

AddReplica and RemoveReplica. The AddReplica and RemoveReplica methods let you create and remove replicas, respectively. The only parameter for these methods is the distinguished name (DN) of the IS in which you'll manage the replicas. The Exchange_FolderTree class's AssociatedPublicStores property holds the DN of the relevant IS for the specified public folder hierarchy. Thus, to find the DN, you can run GetCollectionOfInstances.wsf against the WQL query that exposes the Exchange_FolderTree class instances. After you know the DN, you can use a script such as CreateReplica.wsf. This script, which you can download from the Exchange & Outlook Administrator Web site, uses the AddReplica method to create a replica. . . .
